The Lawrentian
As is the case on any college or university campus, during any time period, it is those issues that matter most to the students which happen to make it into publication. Lawrence University's campus newspaper The Lawrentian has over the years published many an article about one of its students most prized traditions... TRIVIA.
During his reign as the Trivia Grand Master in the 1997 Trivia Contest Ben Kroll revived the fledgling concept of a Trivia webpage to disseminate information on the contest to the world at large. Within this page Ben reproduced several of the Lawrentians early articles from 1966 up until 1978.
Before the campus closed out Ben's student account after his graduation I managed to download portions of his website:
However Ben only scratched the surface of the articles available out there. Here are a few I have worked to translate to the web:
- Bushed: Trivia champions kinder, gentler by Tom Richards - Post-Crescent Staff
- Get ready for some trivia: Annual Lawrence marathon contest begins FridayBy Sandy Mickelson of the Northwestern, Thursday January 25th, 1996
- Playboy Article, August 1978 Definitive proof that Playboy at one time or another has printed something intelligent within its pages.
- A Mini Garruda, Insight Magazine? March 30 1975
